Tuesday's child is full of...grace? fair of face? crap? Ah, who knows. I'm just glad Tuesday is here. Why? Have you never read my blog before? It's randomness all around!

*I was actually born on a Tuesday. Maybe that's why I like RTT so much.

*We're 3 weeks into home school and I'm already looking forward to our first break. It's not that it's hard or boring, I just miss loafing around on the sofa watching TV all day. :)

*Indy has a milk allergy (to the protein, not lactose), but loves yogurt. In fact I'd go so far as to say he's obsessed with it. He's okay with soy yogurt, but full fat milk yogurt is his favorite. He wants to eat it every day. Unfortunately, it does not agree with his digestive tract and is bad news for anyone within a 20 ft radius of him.

*Pepper had to go to the vet yesterday because she has a really bad cough. Turns out her trachea is partially collapsed. They think it's because she has a bacterial infection. If not, they think she may have asthma. My poor sweetie. She seems okay though, and despite her age (13) and being *slightly* overweight, she's in excellent health otherwise.

*Is it wrong that sometimes I watch SpongeBob even if Indy isn't around?

*The banana tree is not a true fruit at all but a giant herb and the banana is actually its berry.

*Sometimes I hate cooking.

*I heart Stephen Colbert. John Stewart, not so much, but Colbert, bring it!

*After my training session today I wanted Oreos so badly, I nearly wept. I did NOT get any, because it would have negated all that hard work I'd done, but still, I wanted them.

*Because of Force Protection all the roads in and out of our housing area are blocked off except for one road in and one out. Where we come in there is a dead end road (we turn to the left to get in to the housing complex) with a bike path the comes around the corner. Bikes come whipping around the corner very quickly and without looking to see if there is a car. M is always saying that there is going to be an accident. Yesterday when I was coming home from an errand, the way in was pretty much blocked by Polezei cars, MP cars and an ambulance. Up at the front I saw a car and bike. Not good. When I finally made it to the entrance I asked the guard what happened. He said a bike came around the corner and HIT the car. Yes, you read that correctly, the bike hit the car. Fortunately the bike rider was okay, but still. Maybe they'll put up a sign warning the bikes.

*The show ROME is awesome. I'm sad it only lasted 2 seasons, but they were an awesome 2 seasons. The show is naughty!

*I was so exhausted today (stupid anemia), I came home from the gym, showered and fell asleep on the sofa for about 2 hours. Oh, the horror! The dogs loved it though. They get excited anytime one of us lays down. Sleeping is their favorite thing to do.

Okay, I think I'm done for the day. Oh, no! I'm not! I forgot about the funny sign. Here you go:

A banana is a berry?? Who decides these crazy things? I will never be able to accept banana berries.

I watch Spongebob too, only I don't even have small kids. I used to have a Spongebob pillow on my bed. I finally parted with it when I turned 45.

I wish I was as motivated to workout as you are or at least had someone kicking my butt and motivating me. I can't even bring myself to walk up and down the road these days. Of course, having a major case of insomnia doesn't exactly make you want to go like gangbusters, but still...

I live right by that gate, I walk down the bike path to get to the German grocery store and I'm always terrified of an accident. Bikes come around there so fast and so do the cars! I didn't see the accident but one of my friends did after we'd just been talking about how dangerous it is around there.
